Why iPhone Screen Time Alone May Not Be Enough

Short answer: Use Screen Time, but don't make it your only layer. Pair iPhone restrictions with router filtering, app rules, and bypass checks.

Why this matters

Apple Screen Time can help manage apps, content, purchases, and communication, but no single control covers every path a child may try.

What to do first

1. Set up Family Sharing and Screen Time for the child account.
2. Turn on Content & Privacy Restrictions.
3. Review web content, app installs, purchases, and account changes.
4. Set downtime and app limits.
5. Check for browsers, VPNs, hotspots, and alternate devices.

Common mistakes parents make

• Using the parent passcode where a child can see it.
• Blocking Safari but leaving other browsers or apps open.
• Not checking account-change permissions.
